[feature] Set some security related headers (#3065)
* Set frame-ancestors in the CSP
   This ensures we can't be loaded/embedded in an iframe. It also sets the
   older X-Frame-Options for fallback.
* Disable MIME type sniffing
* Set Referrer-Policy
   This sets the policy such that browsers will never send the Referer
   header along with a request, unless it's a request to the same protocol,
   host/domain and port. Basically, only send it when navigating through
   our own UI, but not anything external.

   The default is strict-origin-when-cross-origin when unset, which sends
   the Referer header for requests unless it's going from HTTPS to HTTP
   (i.e a security downgrade, hence the 'strict').
